Warning

39 days until race day :)

Warning... this post contains a lot of content!

Since my last post on Monday, many things had changes. I have been working on a grand opening for a project at work and was on-call to work the event that took place last night! Well I was informed on Monday (shortly after my last post) that I was indeed working at the event, which was located in Fontana! Let me just say how impressed I am with the company I work for, their homes are beautiful and actually have backyards. This is impressive as most new homes in California are sandwiched so close together and have no backyards... you get a cement slab with a little grass, LOL! Got to love it! Well I was impressed! The prices are very reasonable too $320K-$419K, unfortunately they are not close to the beach and Jeremy loves the beach! Here is a link to the video of our event (my boss is Hal Woods). http://video.ap.org/v/Legacy.aspx?g=e213a8ac-b96d-4ca8-8c07-b7dc818639d6&mk=en-ap&f=casan&fg=email

Since my plans changed in that regard. I informed my hubby and he wasn't at all upset about missing the run yesterday with my gang. I think the 6 miles made him nervous! I tried really hard to get him to commit to my run today with Coach Paul for the 7 miles, but no luck their! He said this morning he was tired!

Well I am sure he is, I have no idea what time he came home from dancing. I think he danced at Rock Harbor for 2 hrs and then danced at Atomic Ballroom until who knows, LOL! He is a dancing machine and I love it!

Today as I mentioned above, I will be running 7 miles and I feel pretty good. I am SO looking forward to the run today, Literally!!!!! Yesterday was such a drag! I ran 6 WHOLE miles on the dreaded treadmill and the whole time I was thinking about how much better it is to be outside running. When I got to certain points in the miles I pictured myself at the back bay looking at the beautiful scenery! Oh, how I missed them yesterday!

I got home from the gym, talked to my dad, took a shower, and then put on my favorite night time movie... Winnie The Pooh! That always helps me get a good night sleep with sweet dreams! My friend Donna got me hooked on Pooh, thanks a bunch Donna... I love it! :)

Am I on track, YES! Are my knees hurting, Not Yet! Did I ice them last night, nope... but thought about it... they hurt last night and then it went away by morning :)

My dad told me some great comments... Thank you so much for those wonderful comments! I love it! I also love the fact that my hits on this site have already broke 310! Keep checking on me as I enjoy keeping you all "LIVE" in my training world! You are a cheerleader and you help me get through the tough times... like yesterday! Jeremy was a big help their too! If it wasn't for you and him... I would have watched a movie and maybe even been lazy after working 11 hours yesterday, instead I went to the gym :) the smiley face is because I did this when I didn't want to and because I don't have to do the run at the gym today! Also, thank you Aunt Donna for your comment too... dad told me last night!

As far as fundraising goes. My Rubio's fundraiser check came in the mail yesterday and totaled $9.94! Thank you for participating in that event... I am now 1% closer to my goal :)~ I don't have time to do another one of those events so now I am just waiting patiently and trusting God for other donations. See my progress at http://www.active.com/donate/tntors/tntorsMPires! You don't have to donate to see my progress... also you can see those who have donated. I have a bunch of people on the list and some companies :) I am amazed at my progress, it is truly amazing how God works these miracles out!

When I first joined Team in Training in January, I attended a meeting with my dad! I wanted my virtual passenger with me in real life, LOL! When I received my welcome packet and saw all the material, I was SOLD... until I hit the part about donations... I thought, HOW can I raise $2,800? Well here I am in April and I am at $2,416! AMEN!!!!!!! I am not done yet but I am so close and for that I am thankful. Once I reach my goal, I hope it continues as I can win prizes for going over the minimum. MOST importantly though for after I hit the minimum mark, 100% of what I raise goes towards finding a cure via research and patient care! That is 100%, that is exciting to know that I am making a difference and so are you for helping me get through them too!!!!! My strength to get me through these miles come from knowing this! Right now and until the minimum has been reached 75% of the funds raised goes towards the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the other 25% is what it costs for me to do this program! Thank you for all of your support! Sorry if I rambled... I am just so excited!

Thursday is rest and tap class and Friday is rest only! Remember to pray for me on Saturday at 7:15am, as I begin my 18 mile run!
